Common Sense Process

I was having an interesting discussion with a Senior friend of mine, with varied experience in IT industry and now in a very responsible role.

I was iterating on the use of different process models to manage projects. Water Fall method, V Model etc. PMI Framework. CMMi. Six Sigma, ISO 9001-2000 etc etc.

He shut me up with three words. "Common Sense Process".

True.

With common sense, we can control cost, and based on the cost customer wants to pay, we can customize features and deliver projects, without giving all the mumbo jumbo.

I am looking for an opening

Sharon Software Systems is on stealth mode, owing to want of funds.

The latest venture started in July 2008 indiarealestventure.com was hit with the recession. You know how real estate market is now?

The other 2 Saas ventures are also on hold since December 2009.

Do you want to invest? I need minimum of Rs 1 crore to start the venture again. Already similar amount has been spent on developing eCRM and eDataCenter along with a framework solution.

Sreeram and Ramesh are 2 investors, and I request you to check out my Linkedin profile.

Thanks and appreciate for all the help. I am using all avenues to post about this.

If I dont get some funds to restart the venture, I will be back working again. See my online profile here...

PETA and efforts

Many are commenting on my blog, which I don't publish on the PETA efforts to curb street dogs menace.

Thanks for your comment in my blog on PETA. I have 2 young children, who go out to streets and play. Hope you understand the seriousness in which I write about anything concerning wellness of kids.

30 dogs were taken out to shelter, with my effort in Arakere area. Thanks to visit of one cinema VIP to my home.

Few kids are being treated for dog bites even today.

If you want to see my area, get into G4 bus at Brigade road junction and get down at Arakere stop and walk around in the area. You will know what I am talking about.

I was one of the first few members along with Actress Amala ( Telugu actor Nagarjuna's wife ) in Blue Cross of Hyderabad. Year 1991.

I do know what taking care of animals would mean.

Arakere is the only area in Bangalore where you can see "sparrows" which are getting extinct, as they say due to telecom towers.

தீப்பந்தம் - கவிதை வரிகளா? ஹைக்கூவா?

இருப்பது ஒரு தீப்பந்தம்
மேலே மழைத்துளிகள்
அணைக்கவா?

கவிதை வரிகளா?  ஹைக்கூவா?
